School for Student Leadership

I started out sharing my passion for the environment with tourists on the Great Barrier Reef, North of Cairns. I continued in similar roles with adults, youth and children around the world including guiding multiday horse riding trips. I was soon driven to education and began tutoring students learning English as a Second Language in North East Arnhem Land. I have worked on residential programs Coordinating activities and as an Outdoor Environmental Educator in Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory. I value the connections students form with each other, the community atmosphere we create together and the opportunities provided to develop Personal and Interpersonal Skills. I love nothing more than watching young people discover their strengths, capabilities and connect with others and the place they are in. The Alpine Campus is no doubt a perfect place to do this and I look forward to working with each and every student who seeks this fantastic opportunity.

In my studies I have specialised in Outdoor Education and Middle Years. My goal is to continue to work with young people to support them to be their best. My interests are horse riding, bush walking, cross country skiing and snowboarding and anything that involves water and the ocean (swimming, surfing, paddling, snorkelling and rock hopping).

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are three campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. TheAlpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place".
--Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Bidawel and Gundijmara people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campuses are built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
